2023 will be an important year for the cultural and creative sector. The Council for Culture presents a vision for the future, a visitation committee assesses the functioning of the six national culture funds and State Secretary for Culture and Media, Gunay Uslu, will publish her policy principles for 2025-2028 this summer. In the coming six months, Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industrie will therefore be working on future plans for their fund. They will be involving their advisers and (potential) applicants in that process.

On Thursday the 8th of June 2023 they will organize a new edition of Bring it on! During this meeting, they will talk to advisers, applicants and employees about where Stimuleringsfonds stands and where they want to go. How does the fund function? What is their position? And what ambitions do they have for 2025 and beyond?

You can sign up for one of the five sub-sessions to discuss the future policy of the fund. Read more and sign up here.

AnimeCon is Holland’s largest annual anime festival. What does that mean you ask? Well, it’s a three-day gathering of fans with a focus on Japanese animation. What it basically comes down to is that you can join a group of people of all ages and enjoy a nice atmosphere in which you can enjoy movies, play video games, and learn about Japan and its culture. The festival focuses on having fun and learning new things.

They try to add extra impulse to their event by portraying parts of the Japanese (popular) culture. Their mission is to let you have a lot of fun and give you a chance to learn something new.
In Japan, animation is produced for people of all age groups. Any genre or influence you can think of that appears in a Hollywood production can also be found in anime. This, amongst a bunch of other things, is what makes the Japanese-produced animation so interesting. If you have not seen any ‘anime’ before, be sure to come and visit us to check out this phenomenon. Be there, be amazed, and become a fan!

The game room
AnimeCon 2023 will also have a Game Room that is over 2400 m2 in size. The Game Room is a place for visitors to play all kinds of video games in a relaxed atmosphere. The room contains a wide range of both old and new game consoles, the latest releases, a free-to-play arcade with a wide variety of cabinets and even some previews and pre-releases of exclusive European builds from our partners!
